always said i would rather have an as-new GS than any new car made …. but this would do. Nicely.

Don't know - no chassis number mentioned in the ad from what I can see. Pity they advertise it as a Special when the trim is all Club.
 
just that all those new bits i expect took some doing, so imagined it surely would have been known of in the network …
 
There was a shipment of 1015cc GSpecials that came in to Brisbane in 1975. I know I bought one - OOY625. This one is totally debadged and has the series 1 centre console whereas the GSpecials had the wider console with the more vertical gear change lever. It looks more like a 1974 GS Club to me. Pity the rust in the doors hasn't been fixed yet as the paint looks new.

Cheers, Ken
 
There is a red 1974 Club on the Register that was advertised in SE Qld many years ago, which never resurfaced. This could be the same car. As I now live out of Brisbane I no longer hear much about who owns what.
 
There was a red GS sitting in a paddock at Conondale years ago, with a CX nearby. These could be both still there!
I can find out if anyone is interested.
 
Added another GS Club sedan from NSW today, and updated a few registration plates (now on historic/ special interest). I know there are a couple of cars that have changed ownership, but I have to check new owners so haven’t updated these. I don’t seem to be able to fully edit photos on the iPad so the newer photo I have for one car will be updated later.

I've never been able to find out what happened to mine.
It was a 1974 GS 1220 Club.
I bought it from a Holden dealer down around Cheltenham or Mentone in 1978. It was red and needed a new diff. It had belonged to a doctor. I bought a diff from a dealer in Kuala Lumpur and New Deal Motors in Dandenong put it in for me.
I did it up and modified it a bit and sold it in the mid '80s to a guy from down Bairnsdale way.
Apart from the addition of the later model tail-lights and boot lid trim, it had narrower rally bucket seats, a CX centre console with handbrake lever, power windows and cruise control, and a reupholstered back seat from a station wagon which allowed it to be folded down for a bigger load area.

I thought I'd try asking about my old GS again, just in case someone remembers it, 11 years after I first posted this. And 40 years since I sold the car.

Updated a couple of owners, and added a Club and 2 Pallases recently, one a project possibly not far off completion.
I know there are more cars that have changed hands but I haven’t heard of new owners.
I also know a check of registration numbers on state databases shows many no longer registered.

As usual, if you know of any errors or updated information for the Register (link in my signature block), please let me know.

So far there are half a dozen GS’s registered to attend the 2025 Cit In in Maryborough, QLD - it would be good to see a few more!

And yet another update, with a white Club and a blue wagon that were advertised online last year with VIN’s visible added. I have been waiting but haven’t heard if they sold, who the new owners are, or if they are going to be restored to the road.
